Huw Irranca-Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under what circumstances birds of prey may
be impounded; and what facilities are available for keeping impounded birds. [193153]
Mr. Morley: A court shall order the forfeiture of any bird belonging to a person convicted of an offence under section 7 of the
Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 or Regulation 8 of the Control of Trade in Endangered Species (Enforcement) Regulations 1997. In
certain other circumstances, birds may be seized if they were illegally imported or for the protection of evidence.
Furthermore, there are powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 for police to seize animals where they consider that
they have been subject to unnecessary suffering (an offence under section 1 of the Protection of Animals Act 1911).
As regards suitable facilities, neither the police nor HM Customs and Excise have their own, but they ensure that suitable
accommodation that can hold the animals is found.
